I guess you have all those rare John Wright LPs? Nice!

Have just sped up my ol' Lenco L75 and am spinning this one for the first time:

Not exactly a quiet pressing, but the music's fine!

A couple of new acquisitions:

Gerald Wilson Orchestra 'Live and Swinging' (Pacific Jazz, stereo). Canadian pressing

Billy Bauer 'Plectrist' (Japanese Verve, mono)

Maynard Ferguson - Swinging My Way Through College (Roulette). Some pretty good charts, mostly on standards.

Nice! Not one I've come across before. Bill Holman charts, I believe.

Nice! Not one I've come across before. Bill Holman charts, I believe.

Holman, Willie Maiden, Slide Hampton, and Don Sebesky all contributed charts.

I bought this one a few years ago at the behest of a friend of mine who plays euphonium. He had been told that Ferguson plays some solos on that instrument on this album - turns out there's one such solo. I haunt so many used record stores that I figured I would come across a copy sooner or later. I found one pretty quickly and burned a CD for my pal.

Later:

Erroll Garner - Campus Concert (MGM). Don't listen to Mr. Garner much, but enjoy a taste every once in a while.

Abdullah Ibrahim - Soweto (Chiaroscuro). This is such a joyous, moving album, particularly considering that it was recorded in South Africa in 1975, at the height of apartheid.
